Frizzle chickens look — well — frizzly. There really isn't another word for it. I mean — take a look at the photo. They have a unique look with a sweet, friendly personality. If you're looking for a fluffy 'lap chicken,' this is the one.
Baby chicks only need one frizzled parent to also have the frizzling gene with the unusual feathering. If you breed a frizzle with another frizzle, they're called frazzles, which is cute until you discover they have brittle feathers, often have heart problems, and live shorter lives. Responsible frizzle owners only breed their frizzle with other chicken breeds.
As far as egg-laying, they do fairly well, laying 120–150 medium-sized, cream or blue-tinted eggs each year.
